The Well – Graphic Novel Review
A slice-of-life story that turned dark and intriguing quite quick and kinda unexpected (pacing-wise). In a good way. I loved the daily life parts, and the …
A Room Above a Shop by Anthony Shapland
Release date: 13/03/25 A Room Above a Shop is an atmospheric and intimate story about two men entering a relationship during the AIDS crisis.

This slow burn, second chance, sapphic romance was an odd choice for me. Based on Pride and Prejudice, a book I am on record disparaging, I was prepared to dislike this book. Strongly. My initial hopes were that I may tolerate this novel and I feel honour-bound to stress this point. I did not expect…
Under the Boardwalk (2023) – Movie Review
I didn’t watch any trailers, only saw a clip on insta that there’s a deaf character talking in sign language and knew: yep, I’m gonna watch this. I’ve only read the description and therefore wasn’t that eager for the romance, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. Music I didn’t expect it to be a…

Scorched Skies is a slow burn romantasy novel. We follow the story of Tanwen, a half breed forced to live in secret, and Zolya, a prince with misgivings about his father’s leadership. Predictably, they find themselves repeatedly thrust together and a forbidden romance ensues – one which could have deadly consequences. It is the first…
